<span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">This is the fun part. Setting the wallpaper on their Chromebooks is a way students show ownership of their personal device. Although these devices are school property, after adding a few personal touches such as wallpaper, an avatar, and a customized bookmarks bar, students will subconsciously start to protect these machines. They will care for them as though they were the true owners. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">After customizing, nothing is worse than a borrowed device from the media center.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Let's get started.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

This is where all the magic happens.<br />
<br />
When you click on this button, you might be transported to a land of Microsoft Nostalgia, if you like that sort of thing. What you basically get is access to all your favorite word processing programs. As with anything technology, though, there is always a catch. Remember when you had to just buckle down and accept the fact that Open Office was just a little different than the original Microsoft Office Suite you were so accustomed to?<br />
<br />
Well, you will probably get that same kind of "not so warm and fuzzy feeling" this time as well, but I assure you that your students know these programs and they are wizards with them. They are the real focus anyway right? So let's get started.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: large;"><b>Activity #2: Let's find out what we can create using Google Drive. What are our sharing options?

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">So what's the big deal with Google Drive and why the shift? It was perfectly fine the old way with regular documents right?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Just a few encounters from teaching my classes in the past that Google Drive solves:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">- Student did not name the document and did not type name anywhere in the document</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- Student does not remember where the document was saved.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- Students copy and paste from the internet.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "Do I save this in "My Documents" "Desktop" or "The C Drive"?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "I lost my flash drive."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "I did my work on another computer."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "I don't remember which computer I used to do my work."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "My flash drive broke."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "My dog ate my flash drive."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "My flash drive fell in the toilet."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "I forgot to save my document."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "I accidentally kicked the plug out of the wall before I saved."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- Uh oh! Power outage in the entire school. "Did anyone remember to save?"</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "I did my work, but it deleted or erased."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "I can't complete assignments at home because I don't have internet access."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">- "I made this awesome video for my project, but the file is too big to email to you."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">What a relief to know that not ONE of the situations above will occur while using Google Drive. Even if the internet drops, students still have the ability to use their Google Drives with their Chromebooks offline. Whenever the internet is restored, the documents will refresh and update including any changes. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Most importantly though, in my opinion, Google Drive was created as a collaboration tool. Hundreds of people could work with the same document at the same time! Even though you would not want 100 people editing one document, it is possible.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">In reality, 4 students could work on the same power point in or out of school. With or without internet. Everyone chips in and works together, or not. They might just work alone. This just might prepare them to work on a team in the business world. Additionally, remember when you had to assign special jobs to students because some would carry the weight of others? That's what revision history is for. Just check what a student typed and what time they typed it, BY EACH EDIT! So exciting!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: large;">Remember from Activity #1, whenever you create a document or anything for that matter, you have the option to SHARE it. Let's review the 3 options with regard to sharing rights and some classroom implementations.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever wondered just exactly how much effort your students are putting into their assignments? Now, you have the option to track their work every single time they edit any document, power point, drawing, etc... in Google Drive. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's called "Revision History" and it's wonderful!</span></div>

All of your students have access to their own Google Drive. This is basically a large space where they may keep files, pictures, videos, forms, drawings, folders, etc... It's kind of like a giant flash drive that you never lose and it will never break. Or at least we hope so for now...<br />
<br />
This is the Google Drive Symbol:<br />

Have your students create a folder, specific for your class. They should repeat this process for ALL classes. This way, they can organize their assignments for all classes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Go to NEW, then FOLDER</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Name your folder. For example: <span style="background-color: yellow;">SCIENCE - 2014-15</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: cyan;">**** It is important that you stress that your students type their name if they will be sharing this folder with you!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Notice! It you create a new folder it will now be located in your Drive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
**** If you "right click" on this folder, you can change the color of it and possibly have a different color for each class!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Double click on the folder you have just created.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Now, click "NEW" on the left (in RED).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Click on "Google Docs."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, your students are working with a "Word" Document within your specific class folder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Have students name their document.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the upper left of the document, they just click on "Untitled Document" and give it a name.</div>

The cool thing about Google Drive is that ANYTHING you create is automatically saved. Even if you forget to name it. It will just remain in your Google Drive as "Untitled Document" until you trash it forever. So, students can NEVER use the excuse "It deleted" or "I did it, but I can't find it." Trust me, if they created it, it's there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Whenever you create something, you have the option of sharing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. After they type what you want them to type, have your students share this document with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are many ways to do this. I will review the basics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the upper right of your document, you will click "<span style="color: blue;">SHARE</span>."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
